Artex removal in Mountfield
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by DIY and coatings in the way of electrical work, including swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
Rural homes near Mountfield have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Why people call us in Mountfield
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
- Loft conversions
If your home is one of the older properties in Mountfield, near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Mountfield, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Mountfield questions
Do textured ceilings in Mountfield homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Robertsbridge station?
Yes. Robertsbridge station is about 2.3 miles north of Mountfield, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.

Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
